I’m kicking myself for not knowing this simple note-taking trick for Mac

I’ve been using a Mac for a few years now, and I regularly take quick notes — it might be to jot down a phone number, remind myself about a task, or make a list of groceries I need to order. Usually, I’d open the Spotlight search tool (Cmd + Space), type in ‘notes’, and write a new note in the app that shows up. It’s not a bad process,... Read more â€ș

Why low-income earners aren’t the key beneficiaries of free public transport

When you think of public transport, one of the most compelling arguments is that it should be free for everyone, especially for people from low-income backgrounds. But while everyone loves a costless ride, the impacts vary among different socio-economic groups. In fact, the biggest winners in free public transport already benefit the most from public transport. Let’s take a look why:  Living close to public transport is expensive In countries... Read more â€ș

Don’t worry about Elon taking Twitter private and scrapping its board

It appears Twitter’s board of directors finally warmed to Elon Musk’ hostile bid and agreed to a sale – but not before it took a severe beating from the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and other prominent users on their own social network. Musk, who on April 25, 2022, sealed a deal to buy Twitter for US$44 billion, criticized board members for owning almost no shares of... Read more â€ș

Pray for the man who paraded an Ola scooter through town with a donkey

In what recalls a cinematic scene — like Cersei Lannister’s walk of atonement in Game of Thrones — a public shame parade took place on Sunday, featuring an escooter and a
 donkey. A video of the incident in the Beed district of Maharashtra, India, shows a man tying his Ola escooter to a donkey and parading it around town with posters urging people not to trust the company.   View this... Read more â€ș

A bunch of Bored Apes were stolen again, but don’t blame Web3 for it

It’s happened again. Scammers struck the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) universe and stole some tokens. But, don’t worry, you can’t blame web3 for it. Nope. Not at all. Hackers used good old web 2.0’s trick of hacking the project’s Instagram, and luring people to click on unsolicited links. Here’s what happened: after BAYC’s account was hacked, attackers posted a message about claiming land on the project’s metaverse through an... Read more â€ș

The Apple Store is so 2001 — here comes the Meta Store

It seems every few years a major tech company tries its hand at replicating some of the Apple Store’s success. Since the first Apple Stores opened in 2001, we’ve seen the Microsoft Store, the Amazon 4-Star store, and the Google Store — Microsoft and Amazon’s stores have since been abandoned. Now it’s Meta‘s turn, and you’ll never guess what it’s called. Just kidding. It’s the Meta Store. So far, the... Read more â€ș

Breaking: Elon Musk buys Twitter

Elon Musk has purchased Twitter. In what’s become the biggest “will they/won’t they” story since Ross and Rachel, the Twitter board has finally decided to accept Musk’s $44 billion takeover offer. Early speculation on Monday morning led Twitter stock to rally after a weeks-long slump. Ironically, the stock’s recent decline in performance had been attributed to a lack of confidence in the Musk/Twitter deal. That’s over with now, and we... Read more â€ș

Ola’s plan to move from escooters to autonomous EVs is ludicrous

After successfully entering the Indian escooter market, in January, Ola Electric started teasing its debut in the electric car segment — quite a bold move for a five-year-old micromobility company. On Saturday, Bhavish Aggarwal, the company’s CEO, made some even bolder statements about Ola’s EV, as reported by Indian outlet News18. Speaking at the company’s manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, Aggarwal said that Ola will be entering the autonomous vehicle... Read more â€ș

But while the XP 2.0 is a well-rounded ebike for people who just want to get from point A to B, Lectric’s newest ebike, the XPremium, seeks to bring value to a higher performance bracket.

Can you truly own anything in the metaverse? Not really, says a law professor

In 2021, an investment firm bought 2,000 acres of real estate for about US$4 million. Normally this would not make headlines, but in this case the land was virtual. It existed only in a metaverse platform called The Sandbox. By buying 792 non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, the firm then owned the equivalent of 1,200 city blocks. But did it? It turns out that legal ownership in the metaverse... Read more â€ș
